Dear Listers, Just recently got back from some much needed rest and recreation time out at the cottage and still catching up on my e-mails. Though I am not in any way a breeder, I thought I would jump into this most interesting discussion, not to stir trouble but rather to offer a "European" persp

Harnesses & Haltis?

I'm hoping that those of you who use a harness or a Halti when walking their dogs could perhaps give me the benefit of their experiences please. At present, I *only* have 3 dogs, which I'm find awkward for walking en masse. When there were 4, I could walk them 2 at a time, but now, that means leav

Hi, I think Cecilia will give a good answer later. But I think the answer is then you can not be a member of our Bernerclub (Swedish Sennenhundclub) any more and the pups can not be registered in SKK - meaning you can not sell your pups. All pure bred dogs in Sweden are registered in SKK and withou

Cecilia, Is there any way to find out how many breeders are breeding outside of the club? I know in many European countries with strict club rules like this, the percentage of breeders operating outside of the club seems quite high. Is there anyway to know? Pat Long (& Luther) Berwyn PA __

Hi Margareta, Your system seems to be working well for your area. Does this mean you don't have shelters? What about mix breeds? We do have a big problem in the US with too many animals in shelters and a large percentage purebreds. They also have to put a lot down, because they shelters are full
